  We made the booking online and had only the posted photos to go by, so we knew we were in trouble when we drove down the street and saw that the building is pink! A pink building on the Gold Coast...
  They must think that they are in Florida.
  Then we started finding out the small print. No off-street parking, no wi-fi, no remote for the TV, no house-keeping - we were there for two nights and no cleaner came near the room - couldn't have the ceiling fan on at night because the buzzing noise even at the lowest setting kept us awake. Old microwave - we had to fiddle with it to make it work at all. Weird office hours - we never stayed in any motel before where the office closed at 2:30 in the afternoon.
  It's an old, tired-looking motel and the the closer you get, the more the wrinkles show. I guess you get what you pay for, but we won't be going back there.
  Upside? The room was clean and tidy, but we're still not going back.
  Big downside? Our online booking required our credit card number to secure the reservation and the confirmation assured us that the motel would not take the payment out of the card and that we could pay them directly. When we we arrived, we found that the motel *had* taken the money straight from the credit card.
